Tottenham have £150million available to spend during the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is said to be at the top of Spurs’ wish list, but they look set to miss out on him to Manchester City.

And Spurs boss Thomas Frank could therefore go back in for City winger Savinho after missing out on him in the summer.

Tottenham have also been linked with Porto striker Samu Aghehowa, who could cost at least £50m, with the club also said to be pursuing a left-sided centre-back.

Antoine Semenyo’s prospective transfer to Manchester City has taken a twist.

According to BBC Sport, the winger wants the move wrapped up by January 1, while Bournemouth may want him to play against Arsenal and Tottenham in the first seven days of next year.

Semenyo's release clause needs to be activated by January 10, but the player is said to be keen for a swift conclusion. Formal steps are expected in the next 48 hours.

Chelsea’s priorities during the January transfer window will be resolving the futures of Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, according to The Athletic.

Sterling’s family live in London, and that remains a key consideration regarding any loan offers. The former England winger turned down a loan move abroad in the summer as he would prefer the stability and security of a permanent move.

Disasi, meanwhile, has piqued the interest of a Ligue 1 club, who have enquired about his availability.

Ruben Amorim has insisted that Kobbie Mainoo is “the future” of Manchester United. The midfielder, who hasn’t started a Premier League match this season, has been tipped to leave Old Trafford in January, but may be given more opportunities to impress in the absence of Bruno Fernandes.

“Kobbie Mainoo will have the opportunity he has all the time,” Amorim explained. “He is going to be the future of Manchester United, that is my feeling. He just needs to wait for his chance and everything can change in football in two days.”

Arsenal are without Jurrien Timber for their clash with Brighton this afternoon, with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta revealing the Dutchman “felt something” during the closing stages of their Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over Crystal Palace in midweek.

Meanwhile, Riccardo Calafiori was forced to pull out of the starting team after feeling something in the warm-up.

Arteta, who has welcomed centre-back Gabriel back to the bench this afternoon, will be hoping Timber and Calafiori will be able to return to action as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the Spaniard may be forced to delve into the transfer market in January to bring in reinforcements.

Liverpool have been dealt a huge blow as Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is expected to see out the final six months of his contract at Selhurst Park, according to BBC Sport.

Liverpool came close to landing the centre-back in the summer, but missed out on his signature after Palace boss Oliver Glasner blocked his exit.

The England international is therefore set to leave Palace on a free transfer next year and will be able to negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January 1.

Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are all said to be interested in signing the 25-year-old, with Manchester City also linked with the ace.

Liverpool are reportedly considering a January move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos as they search for a replacement for the injured Alexander Isak.

According to Caught Offside, Reds chiefs see Ramos as a potential short-term solution and could attempt to sign him on a six-month loan deal.

Liverpool are also said to admire Ivan Toney and Dusan Vlahovic, but see those players as longer-term solutions.

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a reunion with their former midfielder James Garner, who has starred for Everton this season.

The 24-year-old came through the United academy and made seven first team appearances before joining Everton in the summer of 2022.

According to the Daily Mail, Garner’s name is rising up United's wish list as they look at potentially adding a midfielder next month.

Garner has just six months remaining on his Toffees contract and is viewed by the Red Devils as an affordable addition to go alongside more significant spending next summer.
